Fuck It, I'm Going Back to Firefox

I never switched to chrome since it seemed sub-par all that time (reduced set of controls, dumbed down all the way) but flash-related crashes are Adobe's problem actually (I also have them on FF sometimes).

When will this proprietary crap die off already?

Chrome doesn't run Adobe Flash; it runs its own version called PepperFlash by default.

I know because I witnessed them breaking one Flash video-recording feature after the other trying to reimplement the damn thing...

Yeah, it does. Pepper Flash is just Flash repackaged to use Chrome's new plug-in architecture; it is still written by Adobe. (Although perhaps Chrome does deserve the blame for some crashes related to how it integrates with the browser.)

Pepper Flash is maintained by Google themselves, not by Adobe, as far as I can tell.

Looks like you are right; googling it definitely suggests that. Thanks for the correction.

There's an article about Shumway on the front page :)

You do realize that Chrome is different from Chromium, the open source browser, right?

I guess yes. What difference does it make in the context?
